Okay, fine. I followed the link, registered, and now I'm here.

Will someone please explain why it's so damned important I join the community?

As you say, Father.

New York? I was born in New York. My mortal parents still live there, or, my mother does, anyway. My other dad is a Marine, so he's overseas right now. What name do the mortals call you now?

Oh? Still showing off?

Lucas Dylan Straka.

No, Father. It's just... that explains a lot.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Spit it out, boy. What does that mean?

My mother used to say I reminded her of you, and if she didn't know better, she'd almost believe me your son. I only had a name, though. I never knew anything further about you. Her name is Meredith Murphy. I don't know if you remember her.

Oh, the married TA I fucked in college? I remember her, yes. Such a disappointment I'm sure you're not mine this go around.

She insists I'm a Murphy, not a Straka. There's a certain irony in it, but such things can't be helped.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Pity for her. At least I left a lasting impression.

You're not a man easily forgotten, Father.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

It's part of my overwhelming charm.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

A force to be reckoned with, I have no doubt, sir.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

It's how I lure in the bait.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure.

I'm guessing my mother hasn't deigned to make an appearance?
